If we increase gun control, only illegals will buy guns illegally = if we build a wall, only illegals will cross over it


Yes, this person really is as confused and hysterical as his title sounds.

(yawn)

Might want to take a trip to your local construction site or poultry processing plant to test that theory

Somebody needs to pick the tomatoes. Wages will rise or they will implement new technology. That's besides the fact they are making significant inroads into other industries that were typically higher paying jobs in the past like construction.

Jojan brings up a good point. Bush allowed guns to crossover into Mexico to track cartels. Obama then allowed a much greater number to crossover. Obama's guns have shot literally hundreds of Mexicans and a few Americans. No wonder Obama lied about it.

Then we arm moderate rebels all over the Muslim world who keep turning out to be ISIS and Al Qaeda.

Why do we do such stupid policies so often?

But the counter argument is, if an illegal person who hardly has any education and he hardly has any command over the English, can take your American job then you probably need to get off your drugs and fix your own life.

And we will probably have more hue and cry of high umeployment rates when Robots start picking tomatoes.

The wall also won't prevent Monarch butterflies from migrating across the border. But who cares anyway, the wall isn't meant to stop that, like visa over stays.

The wall provides a barrier to help stop the flow. Nobody ever said it was going to eliminate the flow.
